GAME COMMISSION PLANS IMPROVEMENTS FOR RANGE ON SGL 127

Pennsylvania Game Commission officials today announced plans to move the location of the present shooting range on State Game Land 127, in Monroe County, to improve public access, maintenance and security of the range.

The new range will be on the north side of Route 423, just behind the PennDOT equipment storage facility, about one mile west of the I-380 interchange.  Also, the Game Commission maintenance building is about one-quarter mile away from the new site.

On June 3, the Game Commission opened bids for the project. N&T Transport & Excavating, of Mayfield, bid $130,565.52 and was the lowest of 14 bidders.  N&T has reconstructed three other Game Commission shooting ranges in the northeast corner of the state.  Funding for the project is from the Game Commission's Growing Greener II allocation.
